I take that back, I assumed that meant a dry slope jump into a foam pit. Agreed though, if it's just rails or something, that seems strange.

Its a dry slope into a bag jump. the bag jump was too much of a pain to re-set-up every session so tim windell decided he wanted it permanently set up on campus with a snowflex run-in.

1. try new tricks into the foam pit off the tramp
2. stomp them on the tramp
3. send the trick on the bag jump
4. wake up the next morning and stomp your trick on snow up on the glacier

that sucks, the best part about the bag jump was the actual snow takeoff

agreed th snow take-off was dope, BUT the jump was sometimes wack and it changed every session, and snowflex is pretty legit so it should still be really sick and serve its purpose of letting you try new tricks

to clear up somethings, they have to bag jumps now. one for the snowflex on campus, and one on snow.
according to Tim Windell.

Windells is following Woodward's footsteps now it seems. Except for the fact that Windells has a shit ton set up and Woodward only has like a jump of about 30 ft and some rails below the jump...

As far as I know Windells will have 2 bag jumps this summer, one on hill and one on campus, at least that was the plan last year

to clear everything up there are going to be two bag jumps, one on snow one on dryslope. they will also have 5 rails/boxes on the dryslope. they also made the concrete jungle a lot bigger.

I hope the bag/s will be big enough for dubs.... Because Woodward is not at all and it's somewhat frusterating
